The Performance Based Assessment will include a Research Simulation Task in all assessed grades. * Students begin by reading an anchor text that introduces the topic. * EBSR and TECR items ask students to gather key details about the passage to support their understanding. * Students read two additional sources and answer a few questions about each text to learn more about the topic, so they are ready to write the final essay and to show their reading comprehension. * Finally, students mirror the research process by synthesizing their understandings into a writing that uses textual evidence from the sources.
Research Simulation Task, Grades 3-11 The Research Simulation Task is an assessment component worthy of student preparation because it asks students to exercise the career- and college- readiness skills of observation, deduction, and proper use and evaluation of evidence across text types.
In this task, students will analyze an informational topic presented through several articles or multimedia stimuli, the first text being an anchor text that introduces the topic. Students will engage with the texts by answering a series of questions and synthesizing information from multiple sources in order to write two analytic essays.
